SENIOR PRESENTER/PRODUCER
BBC NEWCASTLE
2009 – 2021
I presented the Breakfast Show for almost a decade, beating all previous audience figures for this ARIA-nominated Station of the Year. Since becoming a working mother, I presented my own current affairs show which took a more in-depth and sideways look at the day’s news.
My pacey mix of news and conversation proved a winning formula, bringing in more listeners than any other local BBC station outside London.
I was very proud to represent the network at Westminster for the organisation Sound Women- which successfully rebalanced the genders presenting on UK radio. Aside from doing outside broadcasts from across England, I’ve taken the shows to the Netherlands (where I was covering the report into the MH17 plane crash) and the European Parliament in Strasbourg.
